2017 Scrambler Sixty2 - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: With 30.6 kW @ 8750 rpm and 34.3 Nm @ 7750 rpm of torque on tap, the Scrambler Sixty2 is no slouch for its class.
-
🔧
Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.
Considerations
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: Budget time for routine chain maintenance - it's cheap to replace but needs consistent attention to avoid premature sprocket wear.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Heat management in traffic
Because the Scrambler Sixty2 relies on airflow rather than a coolant jacket, expect noticeably more radiant heat at low speed and in traffic. It's inherent to air cooling, and ventilated gear largely offsets it.
Fuelling & injector care
The Single 50 mm throttle body with two sub- butterfly injectors on the Scrambler Sixty2 needs little beyond good fuel and periodic use of an injector-cleaner additive - no jetting or float-bowl maintenance to worry about.
Brake disc and pad wear
Braking up front comes from 320 mm Floating mono-disc, 2-piston caliper, Brembo, ABS - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.
Suspension condition on used examples
The Scrambler Sixty2's suspension runs Showa 41 mm traditional stanchion fork at the front. The rear uses Kayaba mono shock, pre-load adjustable. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.
Final drive maintenance
The Scrambler Sixty2 uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.
Frame & chassis check
Built around a Twin upper spar steel Trellis frame, with steel tube swingarm, the Scrambler Sixty2's chassis is straightforward to inspect: look for corrosion, cracks or repair welds around stress points like the head-stock and swingarm mounts.
Scrambler Sixty2 - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
Before handing over money for a used 2017 Ducati Scrambler Sixty2, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, chain and sprocket wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy Scrambler Sixty2 should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.
Oil and filter changes
Nothing protects a Scrambler Sixty2's engine like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.
Fuel system care
Fuel injection on the Scrambler Sixty2 needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.
